How To Dig up Tulips and Store them to Maximize Garden Space

[@subbu515]

Liked your video. No history of tulips from the 17th century and all the BS. Straight up. To the point. Thank you so much.

[@sanjayapradhan1772]

Very informative... every one says to leave the tulip until the foliage dies. But for a small garden space, it’s not possible. Thank you for your tips!!! Will try it!!!

[@billstevenson1623]

Thank you. My neighbor said squirrels dug hers up in the past. Knowing this, I can now dig the few I have up and store them until the fall to lessen the chance of critters getting to them.

[@zaissiab]

Interesting, didn't know you can dig them up and leave the foliage on. Thanks.

[@56sbrogan]

This information was so helpful. I, too, want to use the bed for something else and was thrilled to see this!

[@mariloutagabcundiman]

When I get a house one day, I want a green house like that.

This is really helpful for me. Ive got tulips in containers qnd want to reuse the container for something else. Thanks for the info.

Thank you. That was just what i needed to hear.

[@sanchalimbu9064]

thank u for advice about tulip bulbs store and replant

[@helendennis7662]

The bulbs should also have a foliar feed after deadheading, whether kept in the ground or lifted to maximise energy put back into the bulb. But tbh lifting and replanting every year is a lot of work, I just plant the reliably perennial tulips where I can leave them in the ground to naturalise, and plant the hybrid ones that need to be lifted etc in deep containers, so I just move the containers out of sight while leaves die down

[@gsb1996]

Do you store bulbs in that cardboard box and leave the box open or do you keep the box sealed until autumn?

[@jamee_maree]

I have a super dumb question. Is it not possible to leave them in the ground? I have some lilies that I just found in my yard that I didn’t know were there. Thing is… we just bought the house, and it was a rental for quite awhile before that. So, not sure how long they’ve been there. There are also some rhizomes behind them that appear to be just sitting there. They are def not covered with dirt lol. I haven’t touched them to see if they are still good or rotted bc don’t want to hurt the lilies. Lol. Can you tell I’m a newbie? Ha!

I envy that wonderful soil. In Indiana I have sticky clay - which is good for some things, but definitely not everything.

[@sanchalimbu9064]

thank you for tips I will try it's

[@gilliredale1404]

🙏 thank you. I’ve been looking for advice on this for a while. Most people leave them in but I need the room for my summer bedding plants. And a few treat them as annuals and throw them away 😲

[@ochuot3524]

Thank you 🙏👍❤️

What is that beautiful blooming shrub in the background with the purplish pink blooms?

[@portraitandcaricature9886]

Thanks for sharing.

[@j.c.8975]

When you store them, do you cover the bulbs with dirt in the storage container ?? Thanks for the video..

[@nikkichevere]

No u will want to use wood chips or vermiculite something that will help keep them dry and from rotting. Cheers

What is the beautiful lavender colored tree in the background?

When / where do I cut the stock to replant

[@user-sh3vv4fd2rMr.K]

can you replant those tulips straight back into the garden right away, instead of waiting till october?

I want some tulip bulb, we don't have this in my country

[@Lookatmedonnad]

can you do this with Iris?

[@juliesanchez77777]

My question I can't seem to find an answer for. I dug up my tulip bulbs last year after they bloomed and all of them at the bulb area were split into 3. I didn't have any large bulbs. Only 3 small bulbs as they had split open. Maybe I dug them up too late. I'm not sure. But beings how little they all are now, I'm certain they will not bloom next year. Oh well. Will see what happens. :(

[@lindawilmarth3300]

Can you just stack them on top of each other or do they have to be in a single layer?

[@makeupbyenag]

I accidentally put myne in some potting soil to store . Should I take them out of the soil and just store by itself ?

[@nikkichevere]

Yes u will want to use something like woodchips or vermiculite to help keep them dry and from rotting. Cheers

[@moniquemacaulay8270]

So I don't have to make sure they are in a cool place?

[@RionPhotography]

Today in things that my lazy ass is definitely not doing 😂

[@jenniferdrydsale460]

Sorry for the silly question, but I'm in zone 7b and it gets quite dry here in the summer. I don't have a garage, so would it be okay for me to put them in my basement? Also, do they need misting throughout the summer to ensure that the dug up bulbs don't get dried out? BTW thank you for the very informative video!

[@babycakes8434]

They are better off drying, otherwise they will mold and rot.

[@danibryant9318]

Excellent, I planted Tulips for my first time this year, wondering does each plant just give you one Tulip?

[@somedaynow1128]

Very rarely you can get a double!

[@jesuschristislordoflordsan427]

@@somedaynow1128 thus if letting them to seed it might be dozens of one in a matter of three years=?

[@mezina92]

Should I continue to water my tulips after I dug them up?

[@loisalldis4608]

No. Bulbs could rot or get a fungus if not kept dry.

[@jesuschristislordoflordsan427]

@@loisalldis4608 but isnt there an risk for over de-hydration?

[@loisalldis4608]

@@jesuschristislordoflordsan427 water tulips heavily after planting and don’t let them dry out in the spring when they are growing. But they should go through a dry spell (humidity of 25%) between the time you dig them up and replant.
